HCA: Hermit Crab Association

i just watched the coolest thing last night. Ryosuke, my new little crabby changed from his shell to one of them that i got yesterday. i wish i would have thought fast enough to get a video. i had no idea that they did that .. just switched shells like that without molting.
im not sure what type he is. i dont see the hairs on him like i do Hermes bc he is so small, but he has a blueish/purple big claw

gratz, it's amazing watching your first shell change, and second, and third... it never gets old

And they don't only change when they molt, that's just when they often do it, shortly before or after.

P.S. Sounds like he's a PP. ^^ Those are the ones you most commonly find around here.
